Gervonta Davis knocked out Frank Martin on Saturday evening and even earlier than the underdog had regained his footing speak turned to what comes subsequent for “Tank”.
There isn’t any scarcity of choices when one considers the names in and across the light-weight class through which Davis wears the WBA strap, with fighters like Vasiliy Lomachenko, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez all able to taking Davis’ profession to the following degree.
In spite of everything, although he is been spectacular, Davis – with the controversial exception of Ryan Garcia – is but to defeat an opponent who was deemed to have a lot likelihood of beating him.
Lomachenko has emerged as an early entrance runner within the eyes of followers and, based on Kenny Ellis who co-trains Davis, the Ukrainian is now firmly on their radar.
“Due to the sturdy rumors within the air,” Ellis mentioned on social media, “Section 1. I am learning up on Lomachenko. If and when this struggle occurs please let him come along with his angles.”
In recent times, welterweight belt-holder Timothy Bradley has been considered one of Davis’ most vocal critics by illustrating that “Tank” is but to beat an elite fighter. Bradley has since picked Stevenson to beat Davis and final week acknowledged his need to see Martin rating the upset.
To which Ellis responded: “Hopefully he [Lomachenko, when he fights Davis] will let Timothy Bradley work his nook so he can decide up Loma’s footwear when Tank knocks him out of his socks.”
